Pres Obama helped secure the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m installment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office.
The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table.
The US committed to transferring $3bn tax dollars to the fund. The new instalment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments. The move followed a large campaign, with more than 100 organisations and nearly 100,000 people calling for Obama to transfer the full $2.5bn owed to the fund.
“The Obama administration is refusing to let president-elect Trump’s posse of oil barons and climate deniers dictate how the world responds to the climate crisis,” said Tamar Lawrence-Samuel, of Corporate Accountability International, which led the campaign. “Tens of thousands of people around the world called on President Obama to step up before Trump takes the keys of our government and tries to reverse decades of climate progress,” she said. “This victory is the climate justice movement’s opening salvo to the Trump presidency. And we’re not going away.”

Remember Mia Marie Pope telling Reverend David Manning that Obama liked to dress up as the Transvestite when they went to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”?
I listened to the interview.
No, she is not. However, the Lame Stream Media and the Fat Fag Federation are conspiring to make it so by repeating the lie often enough, it becomes truth. They’ve been doing it in Western media for 50 years or more.
That makes NO sense whatsoever.
hope Dems nominate Michelle for President....

I respectfully disagree.
We can’t escape the fact that no one will be permitted the slightest criticism of her highness in any manner, or That’s Racist!
Women will have tears of pride in their eyes as they applaud her. Blacks will turn out to vote two, three or four times in defiant pride over returning the glories of the Obama era.
She could also take over the niche from Biden: “I’m here to calm down the nastiness, the division, the hatred Trump brought us. I am in the sensible, moderate, mainstream middle and so are you.”
Anyone able to translate this gibberish into English?
Michelle Obama is the most admired woman in the world, according to new poll
Wait!
What?
I guarantee you she is not electable.
Oh the media and the Democrats will fawn over her.
Of that there can be no doubt. Oprah (pound-for-pound has a better shot).
Still, America will not turn out in droves for this racist ill-tempered dude. No matter how much the liberals will fawn over her.
And they WILL fawn over her.
Hillary has a better shot. Though many know her evil ways.
Just wait until Mooch gets into a REAL debate and not just with her Democrat friends.
We can disagree and still be FRiends. ;)
[Anyone able to translate this gibberish into English?]
I certainly hope not!
In the first place, I don’t believe that Michelle obama is a woman. I would caca de toro on the whole shooting match.
That means a lot to me. Your posts have always been a an admired model for me.
When we start into the nightmare scenarios "the debate including Moochelle" "the triumphant return of Hillary" and "the possibility of Oprah being taken seriously" then we are into Barf Bag Mandatory territory.
Your now nauseous FRiend, FB
[Anyone able to translate this gibberish into English?]
It may have been something about “horn-swaggling, cattle-rustling, low-down, crucker-croakers”.
Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish....
LOL.
Hillary WILL excite the crybaby fools.
But even MORE now are tired of her lies.
I expect her to walk on and “save the day”.
There is not a viable Democrat in the bunch.
Now when I say “walk on”, more like...roll her on to the stage.
[ That means a lot to me. Your posts have always been a an admired model for me. ]
Thank you for your kind words!
Oprah is too racist (her past words will be brought out).
BUT the fools who follow her like lemmings off a cliff would be excited.
OPRAH or MOOCHELLE with their finger on “the button”? (yes I know, doesn’t quite work that way)
I’ll be in Australia. On the beach.
Yes. Didn't she say the white racist people have to die before the country can go forward or something?
The sick truth is now many will call her a pioneer for that.
Your space On the Beach may get crowded. And too late for Ava Gardner to be there for you.
You are probably right.
Oh yes, she will “rescue” the dems.
I think I might need my own nuclear submarine.
And of course, a loyal crew.
